Thats where you access resolutions on a mac.
As I said, when choosing 1600×900, the entire screen is aspect-ratio distorted so everything is squeezed. I used the VLC application as a demonstration of what is happening with the entire screen output.

You shouldn’t need any drivers, although some movies that aren’t wide screen may need to be zoomed in or their resolution increased to fill the screen within VLC.

I just got a HP S2031 as well tonight. I am having a hell of a time getting the top resolution out of it (1600 x 900) In that mode, it looks like the screen is squeezed the the extent that if I am watching a movie in a VLC window (not full screen) it is 16:9 but looks square. Did you manage to find drivers for it? What was your solution? I am going the highest I can have it look unstretched or squeezed at 1440×900. I feel kind of dumb since I should have known better than buy HP but it was only $80

How would you feel if I went up to you and said that your life’s work was useless, well listen up bud if you have something useful to say, then by all means say it, but if you go around the internet ranting on people then you’re the idiot!

P.S. I am a statistician and have majored in computer science, I NEED THIS COMPUTER.

P.S.S If you have still not understood my above explanation of why you shouldn’t rant on my setup then go rethink moral philosophy.
